TRAINING
Calm, confident dogs, at home and in the air
From puppy basics to service dog and in-cabin flight training, we help you and your dog become a great team.
OUR APPROACH
Training that fits real life
01
Kind, reward-based methods
We teach with praise, treats and play, never fear or force, so your dog learns because they want to.
02
One-to-one, at your pace
Every dog and every family is different. Our trainer works with you and your dog individually, building on what your dog already does well.
03
Ready for real life
From the lead to the airport, we practise in the places your dog actually needs to cope: the street, the shop, the vet and the departure lounge.

SERVICE DOGS
About service dog training
Who it’s for
For people with a disability whose dog can be trained to perform specific tasks that help them in daily life. You can train with us in person, or online as an owner-trainer.
Example tasks
- Alerting to a sound or a change in their handler
- Retrieving dropped or needed items
- Deep pressure therapy
- Interrupting repetitive or harmful behaviours
- Guiding their handler to an exit
Public-access manners
Calm, quiet and focused in busy places: walking politely, settling under tables and seats, ignoring food and distractions, and staying under control at all times.
Typical programme length: 1-3 months
Good to know
- Service dog training takes time, patience and practice, often many months.
- Not every dog is suited to the work, and that’s okay. We assess every dog first and will always be honest with you.
- There is no official online registry or certificate that makes a dog a service dog.
- Airlines and countries each have their own rules for service dogs. We’ll help you understand the ones that apply to your journey.

FAQ
Your questions answered
What age can my dog start training?
Puppies can start gentle training as soon as they come home. Older dogs can learn too.
Online or in person: which is right for us?
In-person sessions are great for hands-on help and real-world practice. Online coaching works well for owner-trainers or if you live off-island. We’ll help you choose.
How long does service dog training take?
It depends on the dog, the tasks and how often you train, but it usually takes many months.
Does my dog need to be a particular breed?
No single breed is required. What matters most is temperament, health and size for the tasks needed. We assess every dog before starting.
Will training help my dog fly in the cabin?
Yes. Our in-cabin flight training helps your dog stay calm in a carrier, settle under the seat and cope with airports. Each airline has its own rules for pets in the cabin, and we can help you check them.
Do you certify service dogs?
We train and assess dogs and can share written progress notes, but no certificate or registration gives a dog legal service-dog rights. Rules vary by airline and country, and we’ll help you understand them.
